Is this a strange growth on a belemnite, or just rock?

Hello, I picked this up among some gravel, I'm guessing this cold be a belemnite, but am not certain. I noticed it had a strange lump, is anybody able to identify this? Sorry there's no scale, it's about 6-7cm.  

Thanks.

Doesn’t look like any belemnites I’ve seen, my guess is the experts will be along soon to say it’s geological. Maybe pics of the ends would help to determine if it’s anything more

Thanks, I forgot to do that.

I don't know why these photos are so dark, I have plenty of lights. The ends don't really seem to match that of a belemnite, I think.

Someone not too many months ago suggested NOT having a light background with a dark fossil. The camera processes the picture based on the white. Therefore the featured item  is dark. Makes sense!! I have been cognizant of this and think my pictures lately have better exposure.

Thanks, I must've had wishful thinking.
